Abstract

A method for performing high dynamic range optical image detection of a scene. The method comprises imaging incident light from a scene onto an object plane of an Optical Array Device, the OAD operating in time modulation mode; determining the locations of those pixels in the object plane of a first light level; detecting the optical irradiance values of those pixels of the first light level to produce a first detected image; detecting the optical irradiance values of those pixels of a second light level to produce a second detected image; and generating a high dynamic range optical irradiance map of the scene by combining the first detected image and the second detected image into a single image.
